01 Arrival At Dawnsmoor (IC Thread)
Adventure, fame, fortune! There are many reasons why you individually set out into the world but those seem somewhat far afield as you all patrol around the deck of the Bilge Runner, the barge you have all secured passage on down to Dawnsmoor in return for working the trip. Tonight you have all drawn the short straw and are stuck on watch in the cold night air, the clouds currently masking the light from the moon making you thankful for the few lit torches scattered about the deck. The middle of the night draws close as you feel the boredom of a quiet night sinking in….
OOC:
You are all on watch together. Up to you all if you have any previous dealings before this voyage but you have all spent the last few days together on the Bilge Runner and have at least built up a passing familiarity with one another. Take a moment to describe what you are all up to on watch and whether you are taking your duties seriously or not (this will have no impact on anything…..honest…..maybe!)

Re: 01 Arrival At Dawnsmoor (IC Thread)
Pomin frowns his brow scrunching up as he wiggles and shivers slightly,

"Blasted, river weather... I have the mind to go and get some of my winter wear from my pack." he complains to himself rubbing his arms with his hands. The nice thing about traveling by see was the speed, plus the amount of random drunken fools that took up to banditry were less he figured. If anything was going to happen on a chilly dull night it was something to take seriously, no bandits drunk on ale and stumbling about but something serious.

The things one does in the hopes of getting a Gilded Rune... Pomin thinks before letting out a tittering mischievous cackle.

Re: 01 Arrival At Dawnsmoor (IC Thread)
On uncertain footing Khurza walks around the perimeter, not entirely used to the slight rocking of the barge. Looking towards the landscape she considers how green everything is, another reminder of how far she is from home. Out of the corner of her eye she notices the smallest silhouette of a bird. Damn thing is still following me, but to what end? The sound of laughter breaks her thoughts, and she resumes her 'patrol', walking toward Pomin.

You laugh like a scheming man. She says plainly while leaning against the railing, once again staring at her surroundings.

"Well most men do miss... only a few fellows get what they desire is life though. But we do love to dream." Pomin states realizing his laughter got the better of him an impish smile still lingering on his face.

Re: 01 Arrival At Dawnsmoor (IC Thread)
Prong prods Motem as the beast slumbers upon a coil of rope. The animal will not be stirred it seems as it merely roll over in its sleep, paying no mind to its handler.

"Fine, sleep well. It will be your job to get breakfast in the morning." the young woman says to her sleeping pet. Turning to the others on watch she looks them over, taking their measure. Approaching the gnome she says, "If you are cold, I can fetch you a blanket, grandfather. The night is not so cold as that, is it?" Her tone is one of mirth as she stands hands on hips just behind Pomin.

Nya smiles fondly, amused at Prong's propensity to take care of everyone. She doesn't take her eyes from scanning the water to the aft of the ship, nor does she respond aloud to the banter.

Re: 01 Arrival At Dawnsmoor (IC Thread)
As the group stands on deck a scraping sound catches Pomin’s ear. Glancing over the side of the barge he spots what he assumes at first to be a collection of detritus floating in the river until he realises it has been lashed together to for a rough raft....the several small figures he can also see scrambling aboard are also a cause for concern!
OOC:
Wow, wasn’t expecting the Despair’s - for simplicities sake this early I’m just going to say anyone who has rolled a Despair will upgrade the difficulty of their first check in this combat (not including the Initiative checks).

Prong and Pomin both take a point of Strain from their respective Threats, Nya and Khurza have some advantage so how do they want to leverage those?

Initiative rolls please, Pomin will be rolling Cool as they are aware of the threat but everyone else will need to roll Vigilance instead as they’ve been caught off guard

"RIVER RATS BOARDING!" Pomin belts out looking around for the best place to defend on the ship with some elevation.

Re: 01 Arrival At Dawnsmoor (IC Thread)
At Pomins shout you can hear the sound of some of the other crew stirring but the three groups of goblins all seem focused on your group at the moment. Nya scrambles on top of some cargo crates on deck which gives her a good view of the 'battle field'
OOC:
The perch that Nya has occupied is large enough for several people to get on top of. You are fighting 3 groups of 3 goblins each, the Goblins have 1 point of Melee Defense and no Ranged Defense

Initiative order:
PC Slot
PC Slot
PC Slot
Goblins
Goblins
PC Slot
Goblins

PC's are up, the way I normally run encounters in this system over PBP is to say any player should dive in if there is a free slot and they are able to post to keep things moving (as PBP combats can drag on a bit at the best of times).

Re: 01 Arrival At Dawnsmoor (IC Thread)
Pomin grumbles about Nya's long strides as he huffs to catch up jumping up and rolling into a firing position he pulls his bow and looks for the closest target. He grunts slightly as he Aims
OOC:
-2 Strain for additional maneuver (Aim) Using Precision+Aim. Targeting Goblins in the highest init slot.
Fumbling with his quiver at the odd angle the small Halfling lets out a large set of obscenities giving his companions a bit of a laugh in the sudden dire situation.
OOC:
Using the 2 Adv to recover +1 strain and give a boost die to the next PC to act.
